    ehhh...it was late. No way you can leave Clemens off:

    1. Carl Lewis - arguably the greatest track/olympic athlete ever
    1a. Roger Clemens - arguably the greatest pitcher ever (definitely in the modern era)
    3. Dream - greatest college athlete in city history; greatest pro athlete in city history
    4. Earl - Luv Ya Blue, baby. top 5-ish all-time NFL RB
    5. Foreman - even disregarding his comeback as a 40ish ******; went toe-to-toe with Ali in his prime; certified badass

    Hon. Mention - Bagwell, Biggio, Ryan, Drexler, Retton, Vince Young ;)

    Biggio & Bagwell, sorry can't seperate them, they both rank at the same level.

    roy o is moving up the list though, a couple more 20 win seasons and playoff performances (minus the 5th inning WS meltdown) he'll be top 5 permanantly.
